The Saudi national who was reported as "suspect" in the initial reporting is in fact a "witness", says Washington Post.

In the place of a foreign terrorist, therefore, we now have a possibility of the bombing carried out by "domestic terrorists", as in Boston Globe. The reasons? One, the explosive devices were too crude to be the work of Al Qaeda; two, Boston Marathon was accessible to everyone.

Definition of domestic extremists under the current administration is not what you may think.

University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.

"They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it's just a training exercise," Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15.

Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He's been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.

"Evidently, I don't believe they were just having a training exercise," Stevenson said. "I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in."

CNN reports a state government official said there were no credible threats before the race.

Could be, but if you look back at the history of terrorism (I don't have time now I'm off to work), a well documented slew of events were FALSE FLAG TERROR. One of the memes is "Oklahoma city bombing" which we know was not just a lone nut, Tim McVeigh, but something more elaborate for sure. The meme of homegrown terrorist is part of Obama's gun grab and the future US police state. The enemy is now Christians! Americans, being the stupidest dumbest people in the world will swallow it all hook, line and sinker.

It's very easy for someone to make a bomb and kill a bunch of people. The US is vulnerable like any other country and you don't need an elaborated operation controlled by the government to explain any of this.

I mean, usually conspiracy nuts seem to consider that the government are just incompetent bureaucrats but, when something like this happens, they become capable of orchestrating all kinds of elaborated plans, and somehow keep the secret.

About my coverage of Japan Earthquake of March 11

I am Japanese, and I not only read Japanese news sources for information on earthquake and the Fukushima Nuke Plant but also watch press conferences via the Internet when I can and summarize my findings, adding my observations.
